Taliban forces carried out a massive offensive
against the Badghis Province in northern Afghanistan on Thursday,
starting a pre-dawn push that led to them overrunning several military
and police checkpoints and outposts across key districts, killing at least 30 police and other security forces.
Hundreds of Taliban fighters were involved in the attack, centering in
Bala Murghab District, and according to officials they’ve seized every
single outpost in the area. Officials warn the district will fall
outright without reinforcements.
So far there is no sign of any reinforcements being deployed, though
fighting is ongoing. The Afghan air force reported that they’d carried
out some airstrikes, inflicting unspecified casualties on the Taliban
forces.
Taliban forces seem to be able to make gains wherever they want to in
Afghanistan lately, sending large numbers of fighters and overrunning
the defensive garrisons. Though the Afghan military has some
reinforcements to send, they often don’t even use them, except to try to
hold the most important territory, and have been letting the Taliban
continue to amass territory.
Another fiasco by the DC warmongers. Trillions wasted. Lots of dead people. Enemies made.
And the same bunch of psychopaths are still in charge of foreign policy.
